A near mint, original Swiss Model 1914 sawback bayonet with scabbard (see page 210 of Brayley’s Book ‘An Illustrated History Of Bayonets’). The bayonet’s smooth wood grips are of light wood and secured with two rivets. The polished steel pommel has a sprung push button bayonet release which works perfectly. It has a straight cross guard with muzzle ring. The cross guard has a small ‘Swiss Cross’ mark. The ricasso is marked by the manufacturer ‘Waffenfabrik Neuhausen’. The deep cut, saw back polished steel blade is superb. It measures 18 ¾” in length and is correctly fullered on one side. The bayonet measures 24” overall. The scabbard is metal with fixed belt bar and has a ball end marked with a Swiss Cross mark. The scabbard free of dents. Its original black paint finish has small areas of wear consistent with age. The scabbard is fitted with a small leather tab. The price for this impressive bayonet with scabbard includes UK delivery. Sn 13377
